Publisher's summary

"My darling Cecilia, if you’re reading this, then I’ve died...."

Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret - something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive....

Cecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all - she's an incredibly successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community, and a devoted wife and mother. Her life is as orderly and spotless as her home. But that letter is about to change everything, and not just for her: Rachel and Tess barely know Cecilia - or each other - but they too are about to feel the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband’s secret.

Acclaimed author Liane Moriarty has written a gripping, thought-provoking novel about how well it is really possible to know our spouses - and, ultimately, ourselves.

Critic reviews

“Spellbinding.... A knockout!” (Emily Giffin, New York Times best-selling author)

“The Husband’s Secret is so good, you won’t be able to keep it to yourself.” (USA Today)

“Lip-smacking and sharply intelligent.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Amazing!

Wow I could have listened to this non stop. Just amazing. All the way through.

Loved!

I loved this book. It started out seeming like a book that was going to be full of twisted drama and ended up having some very profound messages in it! Touched my heart in many ways. It was very well written and very well read. I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it!!

Goooooood!!

I really enjoyed this listen! Great story writing and hooks you right from the start!

LOTS of characters!

This book began by jumping from one group of characters to another, and it took a while before I realized how they were all interconnected. The ending included a sort of 'resolution' that was a bit of a surprise. I enjoyed how the epilogue gave us a glimpse into the future of the characters, answering questions that the reader didn't even think to ask.

Entertaining but unbelievable

Loved listening to the Australian -accented narrator who perfected each character's personality. The characters were all well- developed. However the plot was a bit difficult to accept. Lots of Karma happening in the earthly realm.

Really Enjoyed

This was a good read - it is unique and it kept me interested. Check it out.

Loved It

Brilliantly read by my favorite narrator Caroline Lee (who narrated the above book as well), what you think is the secret is in fact far worse than thought. Liane's psychological insight is always appreciated and there's always a twist and turn along the way with all her interesting characters. Enjoyed it very much.

What a clever twist, loved the ironic conclusion

this book really explores the consequences of ones actions on other people's lives. I was traveling across country driving while listening and near the end I was gesturing and yelling at the radio about the clever way the author tied up all the pieces. awesome. I'm a fan!

Really enjoyable.

Although a little predictable, I really liked this book. Good character development and interesting how they all tied in with each other. I loved the last chapter!

excellent read!

Love this book... my second time reading it after about 4 years. love anything from this author so far!
